Colombia Curriculum Guide 090916.Pmd National Geographic describes Colombia as South America’s sleeping giant, awakening to its vast potential. “The Door of the Americas” offers guests a cornucopia of natural wonders alongside sleepy, authentic villages and vibrant, progressive cities. The diverse, tropical country of Colombia is a place where tourism is now booming, and the turmoil and unrest of guerrilla conflict are yesterday’s news. Today tourists find themselves in what seems to be the best of all destinations... panoramic beaches, jungle hiking trails, breathtaking volcanoes and waterfalls, deserts, adventure sports, unmatched flora and fauna, centuries old indigenous cultures, and an almost daily celebration of food, fashion and festivals. The warm temperatures of the lowlands contrast with the cool of the highlands and the freezing nights of the upper Andes. Colombia is as rich in both nature and natural resources as any place in the world. It passionately protects its unmatched wildlife, while warmly sharing its coffee, its emeralds, and its happiness with the world. It boasts as many animal species as any country on Earth, hosting more than 1,889 species of birds, 763 species of amphibians, 479 species of mammals, 571 species of reptiles, 3,533 species of fish, and a mind-blowing 30,436 species of plants. Yet Colombia is so much more than jaguars, sombreros and the legend of El Dorado. A TIME magazine cover story properly noted “The Colombian Comeback” by explaining its rise “from nearly failed state to emerging global player in less than a decade.” It is respected as “The Fashion Capital of Latin America,” “The Salsa Capital of the World,” the host of the world’s largest theater festival and the home of the world’s second largest carnival. For health enthusiasts, it offers a vast array of sporting adventures, as well as Latin America’s longest network of bicycle routes (in fact, every Sunday, the capital city of Bogotá closes its usually congested main roads, giving its residents the healthy opportunity to walk, run, bike or skate using 75 miles of asphalt as their playground). Colombia also boasts Latin America’s oldest democracy, and is home to Miss Universe winners, Grammy winners and Nobel Prize winners. So brace yourself for an exploration into one of the world’s newest travel destinations. With Memphis in May International Festival now honoring the countries of the world for 40 years, the city of Memphis’ largest celebration is pleased to offer an exciting and educational portal of exploration into “The Gateway of South America,” the Republic of Colombia.

Its diverse terrain includes everything from Amazon rain forests, vast plains and savannas to snow- capped Andean peaks and beautiful coastal beaches. Colombia has become modern and sophisticated, paired with vibrant culture and entertainment, physically stunning landscapes and one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. And speaking of tourists, archaeologists believe that the first tourists arrived in Colombia about 20,000 years ago. With settlers traveling from North and Central American regions, modern-day Colombia became a corridor of early human migration. About 8,000 years later, settlers in the Magdalena Valley in the western part of the country grew into a civilization called the Chibcha. Later there arose the Muisca, an advanced culture that became the dominant power in Colombia by 700 A.D. Spanish explorers arrived in Colombia in 1500 A.D., obsessed with finding gold and other valuable minerals and gemstones, like emeralds. By 1538 they had conquered the Muisca and stolen all their gold and jewels, introducing 250 years of Spanish rule. By the late 1700s, people in Colombia had begun to grow tired

As a result, the United Nations Resident Coordinators in the three countries have come together with the support of OCHA and the participation of WFP, WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA to develop an Action Plan to support Government responses to the urgent needs in the area. The plan is initially focused on mobilizing an emergency response to address the most immediate needs of those affected in the area. First level responses in the three countries have already commenced through reprogramed funding but additional resources are needed to scale up the response. The plan focuses on areas near the so-called Triple Border - between Colombia, Peru and Brazil - home to 208,699 people and where the majority of the population (57%) is indigenous.

    10:00 - 11:00 a.m. Register: https://bit.ly/2ZUdDpN Session 1a, Indigenous Perspectives: Ethnographic Travels Around Ethnic Groups in Africa and South America Bilingualism conditions in an indigenous bilingual school in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia: education policies and use of languages at an iku school community, Nicolás David Barbosa Varón, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá The iku or arhuaco is an indigenous ethnic group located at Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, northern Colombia. They have historically been characterized by their resistance and resilience to phenomena of cultural threat derived from colonization and the constitution of a country that has been politically and socially adverse towards indigenous cultures and languages. Within the framework of linguistic conservation, it is established that school education is an important element for the maintenance of ethnic languages, in consequence the iku people began, at the end of 20th century, a process of establishing their own education program. Simunurwa is an iku community close to the town center of Pueblo Bello (Cesar Department), so the contact between indigenous and mestizo people is remarkable; nevertheless, the traditional culture and language remain widespread despite economic, political and cultural external influences. This sociolinguistic research, from an ethnographic approach, proposes the analysis of the state of bilingualism at Simunurwa Indigenous Educational Center, considering the linguistic planning and the use of ikun (indigenous language) and Spanish in different speech situations of the school context. It is identified that in Simunurwa exists a linguistic policy favorable to the indigenous tongue so it maintains its place in the multiple speech contexts; however, in the educational field, the ikun language is at disadvantage compared to Spanish, mainly in terms of literacy.

  • Translating Landscape: the Colombian Chorographic Commission
    Translating landscape: the Colombian Chorographic Commission Verónica Uribe Hanabergh, PhD.1 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Available Online January 2014 In 1850 the Colombian government developed a project to survey the Key words: landscape of this newly formed nation. Scientists, writers, and artists Colombia; were invited to make part of the project led by the Italian military, Chorographic Commission; geographer and cartographer- Agustin Codazzi. After nine years and landscape survey; three different artists, the Commission had many watercolor drawings Romanticism; that portrayed a landscape, not only in its physical traits, but also in its Watercolors; social, economic and agricultural development. Through the lens of building of the modern nation. these artists, the drawings that concluded the survey showed a landscape that was truly original but that was also seen through the lens of a certain romantic eye inherited by a firm European legacy. As a result, these watercolors show the different regions, people, and means of transportation, crops and trades. The Colombian Chorographic Commission was an important project in the construction of the Colombian modern nation, a country that was constantly divided by federalist and centralist politics, liberal and conservative parties. An interesting union between science, politics and art, these drawings represent the process of the modernization of nineteenth-century Colombia. I. Introduction During the course of Colombian nineteenth-century history, three historical journeys were essential to the construction of this nation and its identity: The Botanical Expedition, Alexander von Humboldt’s South American journey, and the Chorographic Commission. The first of these journeys is linked to an eighteenth- century enlightened idea of travel rather than to the more national character-constructing voyage of the nineteenth-century.

  • Large Ranches As Conservation Tools in the Venezuelan Llanos
    ORYX VOL 31 NO 4 OCTOBER 1997 Large ranches as conservation tools in the Venezuelan llanos Rafael Hoogesteijn and Colin A. Chapman Traditionally, wildlife conservation efforts have concentrated on the establishment of national parks and reserves. Additional strategies are needed if we are to conserve more than a small proportion of the world's natural habitats and their wildlife. One such strategy is the application of wildlife conservation regulations by private land owners on their properties. This paper uses examples of ranches in the seasonally flooded llanos of Venezuela to evaluate if effective wildlife conservation can coexist with sustainable wildlife use and cattle production. Income estimates derived from cattle production data varied among ranches from $US7.1 to $US26.4 per ha, while estimates of potential additional income through regulated capybara Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris and caiman Caiman crocodilus exploitation ranged up to $US7.7 per ha. The economic benefits of capybara and caiman harvests can be realized only by protecting wildlife habitat. Thus, it is suggested that large ranches in the llanos can play a major role in wildlife conservation as well as provide economic gains for those involved. Common denominators for success are: personal involvement of owners, effective patrolling systems, co-operation of neighbouring ranchers in patrolling activities, and ranches being located far from densely populated areas. For the programmes to succeed in the long term, government and conservation agencies will need to give more support to landowners. Introduction cattle production has proved to be a relatively non-destructive land-use system, at least com- Traditionally, conservation efforts have con- pared with alternatives such as rice or sugar- centrated on protecting plant and animal cane production.

  • Contemporary Muisca Indigenous Sounds in the Colombian Andes
    Nymsuque: Contemporary Muisca Indigenous Sounds in the Colombian Andes Beatriz Goubert Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Beatriz Goubert All rights reserved ABSTRACT Nymsuque: Contemporary Muisca Indigenous Sounds in the Colombian Andes Beatriz Goubert Muiscas figure prominently in Colombian national historical accounts as a worthy and valuable indigenous culture, comparable to the Incas and Aztecs, but without their architectural grandeur. The magnificent goldsmith’s art locates them on a transnational level as part of the legend of El Dorado. Today, though the population is small, Muiscas are committed to cultural revitalization. The 19th century project of constructing the Colombian nation split the official Muisca history in two. A radical division was established between the illustrious indigenous past exemplified through Muisca culture as an advanced, but extinct civilization, and the assimilation politics established for the indigenous survivors, who were considered degraded subjects to be incorporated into the national project as regular citizens (mestizos). More than a century later, and supported in the 1991’s multicultural Colombian Constitution, the nation-state recognized the existence of five Muisca cabildos (indigenous governments) in the Bogotá Plateau, two in the capital city and three in nearby towns. As part of their legal battle for achieving recognition and maintaining it, these Muisca communities started a process of cultural revitalization focused on language, musical traditions, and healing practices. Today’s Muiscas incorporate references from the colonial archive, archeological collections, and scholars’ interpretations of these sources into their contemporary cultural practices.
